"I will take my leave now, but don't forget to keep me updated on any new development on Gideon Grim," Wyatt said as he left without waiting for the Field Marshal to reply.

"Sure—" The Field Marshal abruptly paused sensing a new energy within her mystique dimension.

Field Marshal Heatsend immediately peeked into her mystic dimension, she knew that the source of this new energy must be Anna as she was only variable inside her mystic dimension. Peeking into the dimension she did not make her presence known instead, she carefully watched Anna, so as not to disturb her during her epiphany.

However, to her astonishment, the Field Marshal found that Anna was not undergoing any sort of epiphany rather she was more crazy and gloomy than her usual shelf. She obsessively kept chanting 'Wyatt is waiting for me.' with her every punch.

Nonetheless, the Field Marshal found that whatever Anna was doing was working for her as she was finally able to ignite her will. The unknown power gathering on Anna's fist was her will. By igniting her will Anna had achieved the secondary motive of her training.

Until now every time Anna punched the seal she would not even be able to leave a mark on it let alone crack it. However, by igniting her will along with her every punch she was not only able to leave deep cracks on the seal but corrode the seal with her will's obsession.

Anna not only igniting her will but gaining the attribute obsession was unexpected for the Field Marshal.

The seal covering the exit to the mystic dimension that Anna had to constantly keep breaking trying to get out of the mystic dimension was the representation of Anna's total strength. It could also be interpreted as the limit of Anna's strength.

So, every time Anna broke the mystic seal she was overcoming her limit. Overcoming one's limit was not an easy task let alone overcoming it numerous times in a row. No matter how talented and determined Anna was it would be impossible to achieve for her. Yet, she was able to do so because of the effect of the Field Marshal's Mystic Dimension.

Every time Anna broke the mystic seal and overcame her limits, the Mystic Dimension would award her with a high-rank mystic rejuvenation blessing which was better than most SSS-rank recovery cards. Thanks to the mystic blessing Anna would basically be reborn every time she overcame her limits instead of being tired and overdrawn by training. Allowing her to continue her training without a break and overcome her limits continuously.

By constantly overcoming her limits the Field Marshal hoped Anna would be able to gain an understanding of her will and ignite it. But time after time Anna broke the mystic seal she never was able to understand her will let alone ignite it.

Wondering why Anna was able to break the mystic seals in a series and make such progress in her strength yet fail to even sense her will Field Marshal found that Anna never truly had grasped her fun strength i.e. she never actually completely taped in the strength of her Unparalleled bloodline.

Anna's bloodline was the purest in the last three generations. There was a huge difference between the purity of Anna's bloodline and that of anyone alive with the unparalleled bloodline. So, many did not know how strong her bloodline was. Heatsend Royal family's records showed that someone with an unparalleled bloodline as pure as Anna's should be capable of reality-bending strength in the Card Emperor realm. Since Anna was never able to show strength even close to that, the family elders wondered if their ancestors were exaggerating.

The Field Marshal however found out that their ancestors were not exaggerating rather Anna never even tried. Field Marshal Heatsead did not put the blame entirely on Anna but also blamed the royal family's bloodline training standards.

The reason Anna never bothered to tap into her pure bloodline's full potential was that she was training at the standards that were designed for the royal children whose bloodline purity was way lower than hers. Using these standards to test the limit of someone with Anna's bloodline purity level was like a middle schooler taking the first-grader's exam.

Considering, Anna's lazy nature and all the elders doting on her, she never was forced to do her best in the training. Leading to Anna's bloodline going dormant except for the tiny bit of what she utilized. Her bloodline never fully awakened until she was forced to break her limit in the mystic realm.

This was a comical experience for the Field Marshal, even in her mystic dimension she had never seen anyone break their limits so many times in such a short time.

During her training when Anna started to grow desperate her bloodline under the idle conditions of the Mystic Dimension would respond to her call allowing her to break through the previous limit. Which might as well be called a false limit since most of her bloodline was dormant. As a result, just a few days into her training Anna was able to break so many mystic seals. That was only until her bloodline completely awakened.

Field Marshal started Anna's train in the mystic dimension believing that Anna had reached her limit in the Card Emperor realm, so when she saw that Anna was yet to reach her limit she understood that Anna's training period just increased based on how fast she will completely awaken her dormant bloodline. Combined with Anna's lack of interest in her training, the Field Marshal believed that it would be a few years even decades before Anna's training would be complete.

Fortunately, under Field Marshal's constant pestering and mostly thanks to the Mystical Dimension's ideal conditions, Anna was able to awaken her bloodline despite her half-hearted attitude toward the training, finally reaching her limit.

Just as the Field Marshal thought that Anna could finally start her actual training the effects of the Mystic dimensions were starting to prove that they were no longer enough to make up for Anna's half-hearted attitude toward her training. If it was Wyatt risking his life to save her that kept Anna motivated to focus on her training, her missing Wyatt kept her distracted from her training. Still, Anna was able to break her true limit a half-a-dozen times but thereafter the effects of the Mystic dimension were no longer as effective as before.

As such Anna was stuck. It was bound to happen as Anna was not a hundred percent focused on her training, let alone her being able to use the moment when she broke her limit to see her will, and understand it enough to ignite it when she required it.

It was getting more and more clear to the Field Marshal that if Anna had no regard for her training, as such Anna could never be desperate enough to scrap the bottom of the barrel and find her conviction and determination to understand her will and ignite it.

Therefore, when asked by Wyatt, the Field Marshal disappointedly said that at the current rate, it might take years or decades for Anna to complete her training. However, when she said this she never thought that Anna would prove her wrong soon enough.

Back in the Mystic dimension the Field Marshal keenly observed Anna's stance as she ignited her will with the chant 'Wyatt is waiting for me.'

When Anna ignited her will, she did not get a huge boost in her strength or understanding like most energies do, rather the will brought her soul energy, physical strength, physique, and bloodline together with her punch. Unknowingly Anna was able to passively mobilize the four energies at their peak in sync with each other.

It was as if the four energies in Anna's body had gained sentience under the influence of her will and were willing to give their best and work together to help Anna.

Four different energies running at full throttle in sync with each other was not easy but it was possible as the four energies were answering Anna's call and working hand in hand to strengthen her punch in every way they could.

As such each punch Anna landed on the seal was the perfect blend of all her strength. Even though she was not aware of what was happening, her stance was flawed, and her energy circulation was inefficient, as her mind was obsessing over the fact that Wyatt was waiting for her. Yet she was able to land perfect punches on the seal each time thanks to the energies in her body following the lead of her will.

The power of the will was unlike the other energies in the cosmos its effect was more miraculous than to boost the user's strength. The Field Marshal believed that if Anna was able to master the mysteries of the will, then Anna should be able to solve the flaw in her fusion form with Ann. Allowing her to summon the absolute strength of the fusion form. Anna perfecting her fusion form was one of the primary objectives of her training.

Though the Field Marshal planned for Anna to train her will, she never thought Anna would be able to awaken an attribute of her will obsession. The obsession attribute was one of the most frightening attributes of will. As it had dual natures, it served as a buff for the user while as a debuff for their enemy.
